There were many important feature changes in the 2.0 release as well.  In case you missed them they included:

Custom Attributes
Users can now describe their issues in more detail by either defining custom attributes such as due date, complexity, hardware specifications, OS, etc.  The visibility can also be regulated to show certain attributes only to relevant team members.  All the functionality provided for predefined attributes is available for custom ones also (including import from JIRA, export to Excel, administration via REST API, etc.)

YouTrack REST API
This API allows you to preform various batch operations programmatically.  These operations allow you to manipulate projects, users, groups, roles, or issue link types, and custom attributes.  You may also import issues from a different bug tracking system for a smoother transition to YouTrack.  The custom attributes also help you label your issues the same way they would have been labelled in your old tracking system.
